Thanks for your extremely kind words Ajrichar..
Yes, the tread caused some headaches...still is...., but it is coming together...
I did think of trying to "cut" the pattern into the surface, but feared I would fail miserably.....This was the best option I could think of.
The whole exercise could have been helped, had there been a good range of 1/12 spare parts and wheels/tyres out there in the market...

I'm really pleased you're enjoying the build mate, say G'day to Mal, hey..

cheers
